Beşiktaş Gymnastics Club (Beşiktaş Jimnastik Kulübü), established in 1903, is probably the oldest Turkish sports club. Its football department won the Turkish championship in the super-league 11 times between 1957 and 2009, and also the Turkish amateur championship four times between 1934 and 1988.
The flag of Beşiktaş JK is horizontally divided black-white-black-white-black, with the national flag in canton, two-stripe wide.
Beşiktaş is the only Turkish club entitled to have the Turkish flag on its emblem, because it once represented Turkey
against the Greek national team.
